Loeffler, a former regimental commander of the East German People's Army and a graduate of the Soviet Army's crack Frunze Officer Academy, fled to West Berlin September 8. He said the United States Army was described in an Army order by East German Defense Minister Gen. Karl-Heinz Hoffman as a "well trained, technically well-equipped and brutally fighting enemy." Contrary to constant claims by the Communists that their armies were only trained for defense roles, Loeffler said most of their Premier Lumumba and the continued secession of Katanga. Gromyko indicated he might deal with United Nations finances in his address, which is expected to range over a wide area of cold-war issues, including charges of United States aggressive designs Stevenson had asked the Assem bly to devise a plan for financing all future peacekeeping operations many. "I have no concrete evidence that this will happen but I must make this assumption on the basis of conversations I had with higher ranking officers," Lt.

Col. Martin Herbert Loeffler said at a news conference. "I do not expect that a military operation will be taken against West Berlin because there have been no preparations for it," so that the United Nations need not pass a cup "like a beggar in the street." He pointed out that the United on iUoa. His address, part of the 108-nation Assembly's general policy debate, is expected late today.

Fire In Hold The disputed cargo nearly went up in smoke last night when fire of undetermined origin broke out in a hold of the freighter. Dozens of firemen brought the blaze under control, but the hold still was smoldering. The Puerto Rican court order will detain the vessel until the sugar is unloaded, then she will presumably be permitted to leave. The Streatham Hill's captain, Walter C.

Whitting, said the Soviet Union had chartered the vessel for a year and the contract still has a month to go. Still In Drydock The freighter made port in San Juan last month after a hole was cut in her hull when she scraped a reef near Grand Turk Island while en route from Cuba to the Soviet Union. She is still in dry-dock. Rodriguez Moreano said he Key West, Sept. 21 m-The Cuban Armed Forces Ministry charged today that two United States planes marauded over two Cuba-bound merchant vessels, violating international law.

The Havana newscast, monitored here, quoted the ministry note as saying that "a Yankee plane flew at a provocative low altitude over a merchant ship bound for a Cuban port on September 14. "Another North American plane," the note went on, "flew at a low level on a provocative Miami, appealed to the Su Israeli Banker Predicts Wave Of Immigration Cuba north coast on routes lead- perior Court in San Juan. ing to Puerto Rico where the Navy and Marines maintain important The Dade county (Florida) court awarded Kane firm $883,978 dam. bases.

They likened it to Soviet coastal defense installations and said it is believed designed for anti-shipping missiles. Such missiles would be in the surface-to-surface class. 20 To 35 Mile Range Officials spoke of a probable range of 20 to 35 miles for the missiles.

This would not be enough to reach Guantanamo, the United States naval base about 60 miles gion near Banes. It would be logical to emplace missiles to defend a naval base. Torpedo Boats The Cubans have been getting modern torpedo boats from the Russians, armed with missiles of estimated range of up to 17 miles. Operating from Bahia de Nipe, the bay on which Banes is located, these fast craft could roam the United States patrolled sea lanes. Navy authorities acknowledged the Russian-supply boats "could give us a nasty time." American officials apparently still regard the Cuban build-up as This traffic stays outside the 3-mile limit and could go farther To Fight Attachment Attorneys for the freighter said out, if necessary to avoid danger.

The radio did not mention Cuban underground reports of possible move by the Castro Gov- where the alleged violations took the 1962 Israel bond drive, seeking a total of $66,500,000. In a speech at a luncheon session, Horowitz said Israel bond funds played a vital role in Israel's impressive economic growth and continued sale of bonds is indispensable for the further development of the country, particularly in view of the renewed large-scale immigration. Now some twelve years after initiation of Israel bonds, he said, "there is sufficient experience to evaluate the safety of such investment, $160,000,000 already have been repaid and the situation of Israel is today economically in place, the destination of the ships Curran Asks Probe defensive including the newly or the nationality ot the Luba- faces a new wave of immigration due to "the rise of the ugly threat of anti-Semitism in many countries of the world," David Horowitz, governor of the Bank of Israel said today. To meet this expected mass immigration, he said, economic development- that would normally take a half century will have to be telescoped into one decade. $66.5 Million Drive Horowitz joined in a plea for increasing sales of Israel bonds before some 500 United States and Canadian Jewish leaders attending a three-day national planning conference of the Israel Bond Organization.

That assessment might well change if the Cubans received not by the Soviet Union and is no longer Cuban property. Legal experts here expressed belief the Soviet Union also will fight the order through its Embassy in Washington. Isias Rodgriguez Moreano, who requested the attachment on behalf of the Kane firm, said he expected the Russians might claim title to the cargo.

Feared Emotional Strain Stravinsky leaned heavily on his wooden cane at the airport. He was reported to have feared the return to his former homeland would be too much of an emotional strain. The Stravinsky concerts are expected to contain excerpts from his most famous works "Pe-trushka," "Firebird" and "Le Sacre du Printemps." These works were branded "bourgeois and corrupt" in asked the International Transport Workers Federataion to call a world-wide boycott against the foreign crews."

Stravinsky is to give a total of six concerts here and in Leningrad, the former Czarist capital of St. Petersburg where he was born. The first is scheduled for next Wednesday.

The broadcast said a dispatch from Peiping declared the Cubans, wearing United States uniforms, are confined to the "Yankee military zone." This, the radio quoted its Chinese source as saying, "proves that Panama is being used by the imperialist Kennedy as a trampoline for the new armed aggression he plans against Cuba."

Stravinsky has lived in the United States since 1939 and became a naturalized citizen in 1945. He left Russia in 1909 to live and study in Paris and returned briefly in 1914.
